Two sample bags identified as:
#1 Competitors (Mylar)
#2 Carry Cool Co. (Recyclable)
Purpose:
Thermal Transfer Test
Description of product tested:
2.5 lbs. of Stouffers Escalloped Chicken & Noodles in a 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 Pyrex dish. (total weight 4.3 lbs.)
Description of Test:
- The thermal bag was placed in a
70° F temperature controlled room for 24 hours prior to testing.
- Stouffers frozen Escalloped
Chicken & Noodles was placed in a Pyrex dish.
- A thermocouple from a Fluke
model 54 digital dual input data logging thermometer was inserted into
the Chicken & Noodles.
- The Chicken & Noodles was
heated to 200° F.
- The hot Pyrex food dish was
sealed inside the thermal bag and the bag was suspended by the handle.
- The temperature of the food dish was recorded every 15 minutes for 3 hours.

Item:
Two (2) sample thermal food bags identified as:
#1 Competitors' (Mylar)
#2 Carry Cool Co. (Recyclable)
Purpose:
Determine heat resistance of inner bag liner. Description of product tested:
Pyrex dish ( 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 ) filled with sand, total weight 4.3 lbs.
Description of Test:
- Placed thermal bag in 70° F
temperature controlled room for 24 hrs. prior to testing
- Heated Pyrex dish, w/sand, to
180° F
- Placed the heated Pyrex dish
with sand in thermal bag for one minute
- Inspected thermal bag for
damage
- Increased temperature 10° F and
repeated steps 3 & 4 above until bag shows signs of thermal damage.
- Recorded final temperature
